Default Cobra brake fron upgrade

I'm looking into possibly upgrading my front brakes to a set of Cobra or Bullit brakes.
I see the kit most places sell for around $399 only has the Cobra calipers, pads, rotors, and lines.

Is this all I need to do the upgrade?

Is this that simple of a swap by just swaping one for the other?

Will they attach to my stock mounting caliper points?

No - you will need mounting brackets for the front.

What year is your mustang? I have an 03 and they just bolted right up. However, other years, not sure which though, will need to get different banjo bolts.

You do not need anything else for the fronts, the cobra/bullitt/mach1 calipers mount directly to the stock locations after you install the rotors.

Its a very easy job, no more diffcult than replacing the stock stuff, it goes on exactly as the stock GT stuff does.
